I reckon the UN can't sanction a military option by US/NATO since their observers are supposed to be trying to get a compromise in Syria now. They will continue to fail of course but the Pentagon/WH know that Syria isn't Libya. Higher price to pay and a real blowback. The west will sit it out and weep crocodile tears for 'civilian casualties' from the sidelines. A black farce again.

Syria is much more in the thick of it.Syria was suppose to be about Iran. But now Iran is about Syria.Russia and China will want a lot in order to go along with the West when it comes to Syria.Especially Russia.Putin will make far reaching demands.Pay back is a bitch. One more ?.Will Turkey take the NATO lead on this?I doubt it.
